Stallbron, Arch bridge in Gamla stan, Stockholm, Sweden
Stallbron is a steel bridge in Gamla stan that spans Stallkanalen and links Riksgatan to Mynttorget square. The structure consists of two parallel sections built at different times, each carrying traffic across this important waterway.
The location marks one of Stockholm's oldest crossing points, where the original Norrbro once served as the northern gateway of the city. The current eastern section was built in the early 1900s, and a parallel western section was added decades later to handle growing traffic.
The bridge links the Parliament Building with the Government Offices, and its open design lets people observe how these important government structures relate to each other. Walking across reveals the careful way the city organized its civic centers.
The bridge is easy to locate as it forms part of the main route through central Gamla stan connecting government buildings. Access is straightforward and open at all times.
Hidden beneath the bridge surface runs a subway tunnel that directly connects the Parliament Building to the Government Offices. Most visitors walk across without knowing this underground link exists below their feet.
